Cursed

Chapter eighteen

Dylan's pov;

Spring break had flown by.

I saw Courtney nearly every day, and it was the best spring break ever.

I loved every minute I spent with her, even when we were just sitting there watching films in silent it was perfect.

That was the thing I liked most about our realtionship.

We didn't need to talk to each other 24/7, we just enjoyed each other's company.

I mean, when we sit there in silence, it's not an awkward silence, it's a comfortable silence.

Courtney told me it would be a good idea to apologise to my friends, since I haven't spoken to them since I tried beating Jamie up.

I got into school and saw just the person I needed to, to brighten my day.

"Hey gorgeous." I walked up to Courtney, who was with Ellie of course, and hugged her from behind.

"Hey Dylan." She said, and kissed me.

"Right." Ellie started saying and I knew what was coming next.

"Dylan. You never date anyone. So I swear to god if this is a game to you, I will rip your tiny d**k off, and feed it to my dog. No one hurts my best mate, and I mean no one. I don't care if you're the freaking queen, if you hurt my best friend, I'll personally track you down and make you pay. Am I making myself clear?" She raised one eyebrow at me, and I smiled at the fact that she cares so much about Courtney. I do consider as one of my friends as well, although I'd never tell her that.

"Yes lil red, I get it. It's not a game, I generally have feelings for Courtney." I say honestly.

"Good. Oh and Dylan?" Says Ellie.

"Yes?" I reply.

"I hate you." She says smirking.

"I hate you more." I smirk back.

"I'll meet you later Courtney." Ellie hugs her best friend, and walks off holding hands with Oli.

"Dylan." Courtney turns to look at me.

"Yes babe?" I reply.

"Jamie and Luke are over there. Go apologise to them quickly." Courtney advises me, and I scowl. I hate apologising, but they do deserve an apology.

"Promise you'll wait here for me, so we can walk to class together?" I say to Courtney, and she grins.

"Pinky swear." She holds out her pinky and I lock my pinky with hers.

Here goes nothing. I think to myself as I walk over to Jamie and Luke.

"Erm hey guys." I say sheepishly.

"Dylan." Luke says to me.

"Look. I'm really sorry for beating you up man, I know you didn't do anything wrong, you know what I'm like with my anger, I beat people up to get rid of my anger, I know that's no excuse but I'm really sorry. Also I'm sorry that it's taken this long for me to apologise. I'm getting help for my anger now, so yeah, I'm sorry to the both of you." I say truthfully.

"It's cool man." Jamie says then gives me a 'manly' hug.

"You've got quite a mean left hook O Brien." Luke grins at me and also gives me a 'manly' hug.

"Awesome." I say to them, and they look over at Courtney.

I looked over at her as well, and she was looking in the mirror in her locker, and putting some lipgloss on. It was funny because her hand slipped, and she got a little bit on the top of her lip.

"We've seen you hanging around that Courtney quite a bit." Jamie says and wiggles his eyebrows up and down.

"Are you screwing her?" Luke grins, and I start to feel sick at the thought of me just 'screwing' her.

"Um no. Not exactly." I start to say.

"Are you gonna screw her?" Jamie says.

"Courtney's my girlfriend." I say, and it feels weird saying it out loud. I've never had a girlfriend before so it was weird saying it.

"s**t son! You've gone and got yourself a girl? Holy s**t, she must be special, she's like the first girlfriend you've ever had!" Luke says with wide eyes.

"She is special. Really special. You guys should get to know her, she's pretty great." I grin at the thought of her.

"She's pretty something." Jamie says, eyeing her up and down.

"Hey." I start to say. "She's mine. Touch her and you die." I warn him, and he throws his hands up in defence.

"Alright man I get it." He says.

"Well I'll see you in a bit yeah?" I say, and they nod.

I walk off back towards Courtney grinning.

"I take it, it all went well?" She asks me and I nod.

"Yeah it did. Thank you for getting me to talk to them." I say to her.

"It's no problem. Now come on were already late for class." She says and grabs my hand.

*********************************

"Now class I have a very special announcement." My teacher says.

Courtney wasn't in this class so I was bored as hell.

"There is going to be a school dance on Friday night!" The teacher announces and everyone cheers.

Great. Courtney's probably gonna want to go to this, so that means I have to go.

I hate dances.

"Does anyone have any questions?" The teacher asks, and I raise my hand.

"Dylan?"

"Will there be any alcohol there?" I say and the whole class laughs.

"No Dylan of course there won't be any alcohol there." The teacher sternly says to me.

Ugh.

Courtney's pov;

A school dance?

I've never been to one before, so of course I'm going to go to it!

The teacher dismissed us to lunch, and I found my group and sat down.

"Did you hear about the dance?" Ellie asked me and I nodded.

"Is Oli taking you?" I asked her and she nodded.

"He was in my class, so he asked me there and then. He's gone for a piss, but he'll be back in a min." She says and I hesitantly nod, not really needing to know that.

"Is Dylan taking you?" Josh asked me, and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I haven't seen him since the announcement, and he doesn't like dances anyway." I say.

"Who are you taking Josh?" I add.

"I'm taking Ruby Benson." Josh replies, and points over to where Ruby's sitting.

She's quite a tall girl, with long legs, and long blonde hair. She's actually really pretty.

"And what about you Alex?" I ask him and he blushes.

"He's taking Jasmine Allen, the girl he's had a crush on for 3 years." Ellie answers for him.

She points over to where Jasmine's sitting, and she's a short girl, with wavy pink hair. You can see her rose tattoo spilling out of her denim shorts, that she has on her thigh. She has snakebites, and a lot of bracelets. She is also really pretty.

"They're both really pretty girls you two." I smile at them both.

Just then I spot Dylan and Oli walking over to us, and laughing.

He's never spoke to Oli before. I think to myself.

"Hey beautiful." Dylan says whilst taking the seat next to me.

"Hey Dyl." I say and kiss him.

"I was just making friends with your friend over here." He says and motions towards Oli.

"He's pretty cool." He says and I nod.

"Yeah he's alright." Oli says and everyone laughs.

"I hope you don't mind me sitting with you and your friends." Dylan whispers in my ear and smiles.

"Of course I don't mind silly." I giggle.

"So." Dylan says to me.

"You wanna go to this dumb dance with me?" He says and I raise my eyebrow.

"Oh sorry." He stands up, gets on one knee and grins.

"Courtney Williams. Will you please give me the honour to accompany you to this dumb dance." He says and I grin.

"I would love to accompany you to this dumb dance." I say and lean in to kiss him.

"GET IN THERE MATE!" Alex shouts, which causes me and Dylan to laugh during our kiss.

"OH MY GOD!" Ellie screams and makes me jump.

"Baby what's wrong?" Oli says to her.

"COURTNEY!" She screams completely brushing Oli off which makes me laugh.

"Always second best." Oli wipes under his eyes, and fakes his hand over his heart.

"Shut up you." Ellie says and kisses him.

After they had finished playing tonsil tennis, Ellie turns to me.

"Wanna go dress shopping with me tonight?" She grins.

"Duh." I grin back.

*******************

"What about this one?" I say to Ellie.

"Hmm it's a bit plain. You want one that compliments you." She says and I agree.

Thank god I have a friend who will tell me if I truly do look like s**t.

"This one?" I pick out a black lacy dress and show her.

"You've worn one like that before though." Ellie says to me and I sigh and put it back.

"OH MY GOD! THIS ONE!" Ellie screams and shoves the dress in my face.

It's a baby pink dress and it really is quite cute.

"Go try it on!" She orders and I do as she says.

I walk into the changing rooms, strip into my underwear, and pull the dress over my head.

I walk out of the changing room and Ellie gasps.

"OH MY GOD! YOU LOOK SO FREAKING GORGEOUS!" She screams, and I laugh.

"I dunno if it looks right." I say looking into the mirror.

"OF COURSE IT LOOKS RIGHT! WAIT HERE I'LL PROVE IT TO YOU!" She says and runs off down the end of the shop.

I look into the mirror again and just stare.

The dress really is beautiful and it hugs my curves perfectly.

It ends just above my knee like usual.

I wait there for about 5 minutes till Ellie comes back, dragging this very attractive boy with her.

"Courtney. This is Calum. Calum give your honest opinion, does Courtney look great in that dress or what?" She asks and Calum's eyes rake up and down my body.

"She looks really beautiful in it." He answers and I smile.

"Awh thank you Calum." I say and he grins.

"No problem." He says.

"Is that all you needed?" He says to Ellie.

"Yeh thanks Calum, nice talking to you." She says to him and he smiles as he walks off.

"Who was that?" I ask her.

"I dunno. Some random hot guy I picked up because I wanted to prove to you that you look fab in that dress." She said and I couldn't help but burst into tears of laughter.

"You. Picked. Up. Some. Random. Boy." I said in between laughs and she just simply nods.

"You're crazy!" I exclaim.

"I know." She grins.

"I know! Send a pic of you in that dress to Dylan! See what he thinks!" She says to me.

"Ugh okay." I say and walk back into the changing rooms.

I snap a picture of me in the dress and type a message to Dylan.

To: My Love<3;

Not sure wether to get this dress for the dance or not? Opinions?xxx

I add the message and send it.

I wait for about 5 minutes till my phone vibrates.

From: My Love<3;

Oh my god, you've just given me a hard on. Buy it, you look beautiful in it!<3

I feel my cheeks heat up and mentally scold myself.

Dylan's not even in the same room as me and he still manages to make me blush.

I get dressed back into my clothes, and walk out the changing room holding my dress.

"Does he like it?" Ellie asked me.

"Very much." I grin.

"Good." She smiles.

"What dress did you get?" I ask her, pointing at her bag.

She pulled it out, and it was a navy blue dress with lacy long sleeves.

Her bright red hair would look so cool with it.

"You're gonna look stunning in that." I compliment and she smiles.

I paid for my dress and walked out.

If Dylan likes my dress that much in a picture, I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees me in real life? I thought to myself.
